Garlin adapted his solo stage show I WANT SOMEONE TO EAT CHEESE WITH into an independent film that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival to critical acclaim and went on to be successful release for IFC in 2007. His second feature as writer, director and star, DEALIN’ WITH IDIOTS, was released by IFC in July 2013.

Garlin has extensive voice-over acting credits, including Disney Pixar’s WALL-E (The Captain), TOY STORY 3 (Buttercup the Unicorn), and CARS 2 (Otis).
In 2012, Garlin authored the nonfiction book Curbing It (Simon & Schuster), in which Garlin shares his eye-opening journey to reduce his waistline and his carbon footprint during the production of the seventh season of HBO’s CURB YOUR ENTUSIASM.
